Viskama

Viskama is an Estonian verb meaning to throw, fling, or cast. It describes the action of propelling an object through the air and is used in everyday language as well as in sports and other physical activities. The infinitive form is viskama, and the related noun viskamine refers to the act of throwing.

In present tense, the verb forms are viskan, viskad, viskab, viskame, viskate, viskavad, corresponding to I throw, you throw, he/she throws, we throw, you (plural) throw, they throw. Viskama is a regular Type I verb, so its other tenses follow standard Estonian conjugation patterns.

Past tense is formed similarly to other -ma verbs. Common simple past examples include viskasin (I threw) and viskas (he/she threw). More forms for past and compound tenses align with the regular Estonian verb system.

Viskama is transitive and typically takes a direct object representing what is being thrown, such as ma viskan palli (I throw the ball). It is widely used in sports terminology (for example, throwing a ball or javelin) as well as in figurative expressions.
